At just 19 years old, Alfie Templeman is a prodigious talent, set to explode. The multi-instrumentalist and producer recently crashed through 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify, sold out the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, and has a fast-growing fanbase thanks to big tracks such as ‘Everybody’s Gonna Love Somebody’, ‘Happiness In Liquid Form’ and ‘Things I Thought Were Mine’.

Alfie grew up in the small village of Carlton in Bedfordshire. It was a quiet place giving him time to focus on his obsession with music and learn to play an incredible 10 different instruments. Despite his young age, he has been honing his skills as a producer and musician for many years and is sure to get the giant festival tent at Halloween Town Festival rocking.

Halloween Town Festival launched last year and was an instant success. 15,000 guests attended to enjoy a mix of huge headline music acts with an incredible custom-built immersive Halloween experience. With Friday and Saturday headliners still to be announced, and now Alfie Templeman confirmed to support The Wombats on Sunday, this year is going to be even bigger.

Single Review: ‘Tell Me’ - Jay Moussa-Mann

by Ilana Hawdon The feeling of pure betrayal and heartbreak is perfectly captured in Jay Moussa-Mann’s latest single, ‘Tell Me’. Jay Moussa-Mann is the folk dream we have been waiting for. A favourite on BBC Introducing, Radio 6 and BBC Radio Tees, Jay ’s sound is easy on the ears but delightfully addictive. With a background in writing and film, she began her solo musical venture when she released her debut album, ‘Little Deaths’ in late-2019, and since then, Moussa-Mann has defined herself as an artist with unbelievable range and promise. ‘Tell Me’ is completely timeless; with notes of Carole King and Joni Mitchell, Moussa-Mann creates a folk-inspired track which is simultaneously heart wrenching and strangely empowering. Beginning as a simple guitar tune, ‘Tell Me’ builds with layers of luscious strings and twinkling piano, tied together with Jay ’s vocal line which is equal parts melancholic and divine. The song feels unwaveringly intimate; the lyrics ask, ‘what was I worth?’

Eurydice’s Last Words

by Kate Bradley I do not want to return To sit in the stalls, Of an empty black box Strewn with petals Leave the ghost light on, Let it shine like a call home, But I will not come back To turn it off alone. I learn this as we walk Our ever so solemn path Our thudding funeral march, You think we’re going back. As I trace my old steps, I fear of the day When the symphony swells, And I land my gaze On you, yet you will be Enraptured by the sound, If you did twist To turn around, You would not see me. So I am not sorry, I speak out into the empty air And I am not sorry. “Turn Around.” You do, you look You think I fall But I run on, Arms wide open To fall in love With it all “Perhaps she was the one who said, ‘Turn around.” On the X45 bus, back from the Tyneside Cinema, I wrote a poem entitled “Eurydice’s Final Words”, after having seen “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”. That poem was terrible, so I wrote a new one, as my response to the beautifully poignant film. In one scene, Héloïse , an 1
